Join designer Pamela for this workshop where you will learn how to engrave any image you want using our laser. This time you will engrave on a notebook you will then take home with you, but the technique you will learn can actually be used to engrave on other materials or even just transform, for example, a hand drawing you made into a digital one.

You will learn the basics of Adobe Illustrator, a powerful 2D design software with which we will show you how to take any image and transform it into a vector image: one that doesn't lose quality and can be used for engraving but also for posters, videos and many other things. Then you'll learn how to use Xinfab's laser cutter and take home a notebook with your personalized cover.

Things you should bring:
// Your laptop, charger and a mouse (you will have a hard time without a mouse)
// Please install Adobe Illustrator (Trial version is OK)
// Your passion, curiosity, and questions

Price includes:
// Your notebook
